A beautiful object in the western
sky now is Venus, the evening star,
which is fast moving on to her period
of greatest brilliancy, which will occur
August 10. On that day, at noon,
she reaches a point about 40 degrees
east of the sun. At this period in her
orbit but a crescent of illuminated disc
is turned our way. During the entire
month of August she may be found at
highest some so degrees high on the
western heavens, so bright that one
can scarcely marvel that the ancients
regarded her as the flashing shield of
the beautiful goddess Of love.
There is one less person indebted to
the town for taxes this week than last.
Arthur Leach was at the village last
Wednesday evening and, besides
being considerably 9 boisterous had
quite a sum Of money with him. Col
lector Waite saw him and thought it
would be grand opportunity to col
lect some unpaid taxes. Mr.. Leach
positively affirmed he had not enough
money wherewith to pay up, but Mr..
Waite saw him get a bill changed and
did not take any stock in that declara-
ton, and told Leach that he would jug
him if he didn't pay at once. Arthur
refused so to do and was promptly
taken in. After being in the cooler
about an hour he came to his senses |
and sent for the collector, and, after
again trying s. bluff game" but with
out avail, paid up and was released
from custody. We are of the opinion
that Mr.. Waite means business with |
all who are in arrears, and it would be |
well for such to pay up if they wish |
him to keep away from them.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather Saturday morning, and
the announcement two or three times
that the picnic was postponed, about
40 accompanied by the band took
the II o'clock train for Cambridge.
At that time the skies frightened and
shortly after the train reached Cam
bridge the sun came out clearly. 1t
was too damp to picnic at Lookout |
Park, so the ex2ursionists were invit- |
ed to States Attorney Parker's lawn
where the several baskets and boxes |
were opened and dinner partaken of.
After dinner a stroll about the village |
and the baseball game in Cuttings |
field Ito which all the pic-nickers were
admitted free) were the principle
diversions. Some, however, went up |
to the Park and passed the time very |
pleasantly admiring the various views
to be obtained from the several look
out points. The Park is located on
top of the mountain, is but a few |
minutes walk from the village, and |
is nicely situated for picnic par
ties. A large number also visited
Reuben Brush's premises and were
given a liberal supply of flowers. The
excursionists were very kindly received
by the people of Cambridge and all
were delighted with the afternoons
outing We are sure our people will
only be too glad to receive the Cam
bridge folks, should they ever decide
to picnic up this way.
